Ammolite is the trade name for the gemstone quality of a colorful, iridescent fossil shell of two ammonites: Placenticeras meeki and Placenticeras intercalare. The gemstone consists of the finest aragonite platelets, which produce the bright colors through interference of light.
The colorful iridescent Ammolite awakens the desire to discover secrets and to take a closer look at the things behind the things. The joy of the beautiful things in life and the splendor of diversity is strengthened. Ammolite stabilizes developments that are too fast and too restless and leads to more constancy without becoming inflexible.
The first users of Ammolite were the people of the Blackfoot First Nation (Canadian aborigines). They had known Ammolite for centuries under the name Iniskim ("buffalo stone"). According to legend, Ammolites were worn as talismans when hunting. In 2004, Ammolite became the official gemstone of the province of Alberta and a "National Treasure".
To protect the delicate surface, it was sealed with acrylic.
Stone weight Ammolite approx. 40ct, silver weight approx. 0.13g.
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier and I am the founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. Creativity and stones have been a topic for me since I was a child, and they first shaped my free time and then my entire professional life.
As a child, this began playfully with collecting and crafting with stones I had found myself and with the first minerals that my grandfather brought me from the Alps. Later, a fascination for processing, sawing, grinding, designing and artistic work with gemstones emerged. With our Chili Creative ® brand, we managed to build up a range developed by experts from our wholesale business and our production sites in Asia.
Today, numerous professional jewelry designers, goldsmiths, jewelry makers, jewelers and creative people from the online world such as Etsy and Pinterest providers use the components of Chili Creative® in their projects. With our tools, stone components, bead strands, pearls and silver parts as well as high-quality stringing materials, you can create creative jewelry projects that are highly profitable for resale.
